Use Volley as suggested above. Add following into build.gradle (Module: app)

implementation 'com.android.volley:volley:1.1.1'

Add following into AndroidManifest.xml:

And add following to you Activity code:

public void httpCall(String url) {

    RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);

    StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
            new Response.Listener() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(String response) {
                    // enjoy your response
                }
            }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
                @Override
                public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                    // enjoy your error status
                }
    });

    queue.add(stringRequest);
}

It replaces http client and it is very simple.
